  • Bowtie2 exact match and same length

    Hi,

    I have 8 fastq files with small RNA sequencing data and I would like to allign the sequences to a reference (.fa), thereby removing the sequences that do not allign perfectly to the reference sequences. However, the condition is that the perfect alligned seqeunces have the same length as the reference sequences to which they were alligned to. Example (not the real data, but to show what I mean):

    Ref sequence (.fa):
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC

    sample sequences (.fastq):
    GCAATCGATCGATGC
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC
    AATCGATCGATGCTAGTC
    GTACCATCGACT

    Expected output from bowtie (.sam):
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC

    This is the command I used:
    bowtie2 -L 6 -i S,0,0.5 --rdg 1,6 --rfg 1,6 --norc --score-min C,0,-1 -p 8 -x "INDEX" (input_file.fastq) > (output_file.sam)

    The command runs and produces output, however not exactly what I expected.

    Bowtie2 output from command:
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC
    AATCGATCGATGCTAGTC

    How can I change the bowtie2 command to remove perfect alligned sequences that are not the same length as the reference sequences? Or use Samtools to remove the smaller/longer sequences?

    Thanks in advance!

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
